            Locate samples on the computer on which Visual Studio is installed. By default, 
            samples and a Readme file are installed in <span class="placeholder">drive</span>:\Program 
            Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10\Samples. For Express editions of Visual Studio, 
            all samples are located online.</p>

Text recognition is performed by <span class="keyword">RecognizerContext</span>, which are produced by an instance of type <span class="keyword">Recognizer</span>. Multiple recognizers might (and probably will) be installed on a single computer.

An <span class="keyword">InkOverlay</span> is attached to a <span class="keyword">Panel</span> for ink collection. After writing text on the screen by using the pen, the user clicks a <span class="ui">Recognize</span> menu item to initiate text recognition. The best guess, also known as a <span class="term">top string</span>, is displayed in a <span class="keyword">ListBox</span>.
